Two teams from China — Lynn Vision and Tyloo — have successfully made it through the Asian qualifiers and will represent their region at BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025. Both squads have secured their spots among the best and will compete on the biggest Counter-Strike 2 stage of the season.
Tyloo’s Road to the Major
Tyloo began their BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 campaign with a scheduled match on April 15 against DogEvil. However, the match never took place due to DogEvil’s disqualification — they failed to present a complete roster for the qualifiers. As a result, Tyloo automatically advanced to the next round.
In the second round, Tyloo faced Lynn Vision in a best-of-three series. The first map, Nuke, ended in a 10:13 loss for Tyloo. On the second map, Inferno, the game went to overtime where Tyloo managed to come out on top with a 19:15 victory. Standout player Mercury delivered an exceptional performance with 31 kills and a 1.42 rating on that map. The decider, Train, ended in defeat for Tyloo with a score of 8:13.
In the decisive match for a spot at the Major, Tyloo faced Rare Atom. The first map, Anubis, started poorly for Tyloo, trailing 3:9 at the half. However, they made a comeback and won 16:12. The second map, Mirage, was more straightforward, with Tyloo securing a 13:7 win and earning their place at the Major.
Tyloo 2021–2025
Between 2021 and 2025, Tyloo underwent major roster changes. In 2022, they brought in aristo and Freeman, replacing BnTeT and Attacker. Later, Attacker rejoined the main roster, and aristo was benched. After a disappointing RMR run in 2023, Tyloo signed emi, ROGA, and sk0R, and also brought back SLOWLY. In October 2023, Tyloo acquired the 5yclone roster, which included JamYoung, Mercury, and Moseyuh. In 2024, Jee and Starry joined, though Starry later returned to Lynn Vision. Attacker re-entered the lineup in January 2025.
